I now realise that I setup the virtual machine in this video to run off my QUANTUM-NAS. That would explain why I said the virtual machine was slow until I installed RevisionOS. The virtual machine was running on a hard drive rather than an SSD. Running a virtual machine on a hard drive is not recommended because of the nature and performance of hard drive.
I have a dual xeon HP z620 . It was very cheap but ultimately is too slow for much of what i like to run. I’d consider a newer dual xeon or epyc server in the future, but i have to be careful to get faster CPUs and RAM. Everything else about the z620 is really cool. Very solidly built. BIOS is kinda funky compared to average PCs
I am using MyRadar on one of the smaller monitors behind me at the end of the video. I also use GRLevel3 to track severe weather in my area sometimes too. MyRadar is free but with ads. I recommend paying the one time fee to remove the ads. It’s worth it to me. GRLevel3 is a paid software but it’s a pay once never pay again software. I don’t remember how much I paid for it though. I’ve owned it for many years.
Nice! I’m looking at purchasing a P510 or a P520 for my rack. That or a Fujitsu TX1330 M3/M4.. 😅 The P510 looks good in yours, how did you rack mount it? Just a normal shelf? I’ll take a look at your P520 videos also. 👍
I understand the P510 does bifurcation for using cheap SSD carrier cards. You can get a 40G PCIE gen 3 NIC to go with it. I almost bought one, but found a next gen Dell T5820 which had twice the grunt (though higher TDP) which I'm hoping will be good for spinning up random VMs and just generally lasting longer, until PCIE gen 4 server/workstation systems become cheap.
I'm considering a purchase of a P510 to replace my current and bit dated, custom build. No issues with PCIe passthrough on these Lenovo machines? Nice setup btw.
No issues with PCIe passthrough on both the P510 and P520. You do need to enable Intel VD-t in the bios to be able to passthrough a Graphics Card. On the P510 I had a bit of trouble finding the option to enable VD-t. It’s hidden in one of the options. I forget what it’s called but I had to read the descriptions of each option carefully until it mentioned VD-t and enabled it. You should update the bios too if you buy a P510 so better CPUs work. Thanks!! :-)
@@NatesZone Thank you. I'm aware of passthrough requirements in bios. I should be picking one up this weekend with e5 2690 v3 (it'll do for now), no ram or gpu but I already have a 8x 32Gb kit and a 1070 that will be going in it along with a LSI SAS card. I'd be looking to purchase Flex Adapter as well as it would be nice to add m.2 capabilities. Best regards!

there is a lot of effort put into these videos and they are really underappreciated great vid keep it up

I recently got a p520 and its been great for basic gaming and computing and its got great upgradeability.
I got a dual xeon p620 for like $215. Very crazy considering that used to be a $2000-$4000 workstation only a few years ago
@@ultravioletiris6241 The used market is a god send. Nice find btw.
just wonder what weather software you are using ?

Thanks for checking out my video! I used standard shelf rails for the P510, and it works great. Fits like a glove! :-)

how did you install win 11 on this, it technically doesn't support win11 due to missing tpm2.0
Proxmox has a software version of TPM 2.0 built into itself. When first creating a new VM, you can select TPM 2.0 as an option.
I updated TPM from 1.2 to 2.0 on this video ruclips.net/video/EBwlZDuHfkI/видео.html

@@NatesZone where to find vd-t in bios?
